| GIVING AT CLUMC |
Thank you for considering a gift to Clear Lake United Methodist Church. Your tithes and offerings enable the church to fulfill our mission: “To glorify Jesus Christ and make disciples.” Your giving is an act of worship and makes possible all the diverse ministries of the church.
“Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you can."
- John Wesley, founder of Methodism
All giving information is kept confidential by the CLUMC Finance Office.

| 2013 STEWARDSHIP PLEDGE |
If you haven’t yet turned in your 2013 Pledge Card, you still can. This can by:
1) A blank form can be found [ here ]. Fill it out and return it by mail or in person at the church.
|
| DONATIONS |
CLUMC encourages members to give with regularly scheduled donations. This is the most convenient way to give, and it can be done at any designated level. Donations can be split as desired between the Operating Budget, Capital Campaign and other designated giving. Payments can be changed or stopped at any time.
AUTO GIVE
Many members use AUTO GIVE, where regular pledge donations are transferred from a bank directly to CLUMC. More information, including an AUTO GIVE form to authorize CLUMC to draft your bank account, is available here.
ONLINE BILL-PAY
Others have chosen to set up CLUMC as a regular payee in their personal online banking account. This is another convenient way to manage all donations in one place. If you choose this method, be sure to note how you would like your funds designated (e.g. Operating Budget, Capital Campaign). Use the church’s main address: 16335 El Camino Real, Houston, Texas 77062.
THROUGH PAYPAL, USING A DEBIT OR CREDIT CARD
This is another giving option for one-time or regular donations. Unlike the above two options, payment through PAYPAL requires a fee on each donation, paid by the church. To give via PAYPAL, go here.
For information on these options, contact Jennifer King in the Church Finance Office.

| OTHER WAYS TO DONATE |
BY CHECK OR CASH
Make checks payable to Clear Lake UMC and mail to 16335 El Camino Real, Houston, Texas 77062.
Of course, checks or cash may also be given during the Offering at Sunday services.
GIVING STOCK OR MUTUAL FUNDS
Some members gain tax advantages by donating appreciated stock or mutual funds. Others make direct rollovers to CLUMC from an IRA. Contact Tom Basile in the Church Finance Office for information on these types of donations.
EMPLOYER GIFT MATCHING
With matching gifts, you can sometimes double or even triple your gift! Many Fortune 500 companies and some smaller companies offer gift-matching programs for some donations. Contact Tom Basile for additional information.
